Housing First Philosophy: (Hint: Housing is the solution)

No two people experience homelessness the same way, nor do

they have the same path OUT of homelessness

Everyone is “Housing Ready”; Offered w/o preconditions
Housing makes all other interventions work better
The opposite of ‘one-size-fits-all” approach
Reduces Harm

Homelessness is a problem with a solution
